    I've setup a SOCKS proxy with my server and I was wondering whether it will work for https connections.

    I know that using SOCKS can hide my IP in a http connection but I am not very sure about https connection.

    Your input is very much appreciated :)

    Not exactly sure either. Do you have an SSL certificate for the proxy server? Have you tested it now.

    I assume that since you are going through the proxy server to a https site which has an SSL certificate, that you would need one as well but I might be wrong.
